Default Mile High Horsepower?
Hi Everyone,

I am anxious to hear from other forum members regarding their quarter mile times at high altitude. I am curious to see how well my car is performing. I live in Colorado and thoroughly enjoy my visits to Bandimere Speedway! I have an 05 SRT-6 roadster with 59K miles and it's Very well maintained.

Prior to any mods, I was running 14.5's @ 96mph (consistently) all day long at an altitude of 5800 ft. After installing a Needswings DCAI, it came down to a consistent 14.3 and then an Eurocharged tune brought it down again to 14.2's. All of my best runs were after the sun was going down. I launch at 14-1600 rpm with the TC off and it always hooks. My question is, does that time sound right to you guys? Seems a bit slow for me.. I know high altitude is the culprit, just wanted to hear from you guys.....

This weekend, I'll be installing a 65mm SC pulley, new plugs and wires, an oil catch can and the re-tune for it from Eurocharged. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accurately "time" the new mods till next year because the track is closed for the season.

Here are my latest (and best) numbers from last August, is this what I should expect from the car? No SC pulley installed on these stats.

60' - 2.667
330' - 6.137
1/8- 9.254
MPH- 79.20
1000- 11.958
ET- 14.222
MPH- 100.08

I am curious only because I know our engines were hand built and there are some that came out of the box a little faster than others. Or.... I am just whining.... Oh, one last thing, would it be a good idea to replace the intake gaskets after the pulley change? I understand the stock gaskets may not hold additional boost well?
Thanks guys!!!
